I brought home flowers from a recent funeral service of a close relative and wasn’t sure if I wanted to preserve the flowers until I watched your video! Awesome idea, thanks for the motivation!
@@hangma__1760 I use the book method. Some flowers lose their colour, others don't. My red roses and other tiny orange flowers retained their colour (it's been almost a year now).
Thank you, I'm looking for starting a scrapbook to give to my boyfriend at our wedding when it happens, but I'm starting it now because I can't imagine us ever ending (:
Ok so i did this recently, do ur flowers turn fragile too? The petals start breaking off. What do u do for them to retain their shape and not break off?
yes, they do turn brittle and l9se a lot of the color... I don't know what to do to keep it from happening... I'm going to start using the moisture control pellets and microwave method...
I’m wondering if the discoloration is coming from the dark felt. Have you tried using white? I’m just curious. I’ve just started experimenting with this whole process and found your video great. Also, you were very gracious in your response to the feedback about how you talk. I’m impressed! As a mother of several grown children, what she’s referring to is sometimes called upspeak. It has become more common in the last two decades, especially among females. (In the 80s, that’s what we called Valley Girl talk.) The reason it’s called upspeak is the last word or two are spoken at a higher pitch. That’s what makes it sound like a question. So “Did you hear thunder?” and “You can use roses or daisies” can both sound like a question if a person’s voice ends up. As a woman, the reason I don’t care for it is it sounds like a person is uncertain. I had to break my girls of the habit when they were younger. You exude much confidence, however, so talk however you want.
I wondered if the browning could be prevented by putting them into the microwave longer but with less power. I can regulate the wattnumber between 800-300 in my microwave.
I received chocolate flower bouquet from husband and idk what to do with the flower after days..its so beautiful, i dont want to throw it away and i dont want to let it witter... Scroll thru pinterest, got a bit idea then type on RUclips.. voila.. found your video..
What was the color of the cloth you used? Maybe try white so the color of both the flower and material won't bleed. Also timing is everything. Don't leave it in the microwave to long for it will discolor and evaporate faster.
@@mattdays9403 I kept them inside a book...but didn't bake them....just left them like that to dry up... the next day itself the white flowers turned brown as if they were rotting
@@harekrishnagraphy hmmm.. It could be that the flowers have to much water. So when placed in the book, the water comes out of the flowers instead of it being soaked up by the paper leaving it to discolor your flower. Especially since its white. I would recommend placing paper towles in between the flowers or doing this microwave method for white.
You're very talented, and have the right idea. I'm an Old Buck with almost no Art talent and need to learn hacks. I won't criticize as you shall be successful. I'm not sure where and when delivering every sentence in the Interrogative became fashionable or an acceptable pattern of speaking . I've heard many younger folks doing it. I'm going into the Imperative here. Try your best to stop this habit. You, bless your creative soul, did not drop a single "like" bomb. That is so uplifting it cannot even be described. If you get a handle on that other habit, you will be a Star. I almost had to click you off when I heard every sentence almost sounding like a question. Maybe someone is instructing you that it is cool or alluring. Trust me, not them You could be the first "like" free instructor on the Internet. You'll attract a whole generation of Old Folks like myself. Ultimately that will bring you success so quickly it will make your head spin. Good luck. ✌
People have told me about the interrogative sentences before and I had no idea I did it nor do I know why or how I do it 😂 maybe it’s a southern thing? I try to watch back to see but really don’t see it. I’d love to learn to talk more clear for my viewers it’s just so hard because it’s how I’ve talked my entire life! Thanks for the tip ❤️ I appreciate your kind words.
So cool! I’ve honestly never done monsteras, so I wouldn’t want to steer you in the wrong direction. I would try silica first and see if that works, but only if you have extra leaves you can experiment with
cool alternative technique, just a suggestion from a fellow youtuber, invest in a mic like a lavalier or video mic pro by rode so it wont seem like you are yelling. have a good day!
Girl, know what you're working with if you're going to make an instructional video. Fire bricks are to keep things from catching on fire, like in a fireplace!

That’s why I’m watching now. Trying to save my Dad’s 💐 from his funeral.
Great idea, love this hack. I would have done it the old fashion way in a book for 3 wks 😂😂
😂🤣
Will the flowers lose its colour in time?
@@hangma__1760 I use the book method. Some flowers lose their colour, others don't. My red roses and other tiny orange flowers retained their colour (it's been almost a year now).
Lol I do it the "old fashioned way" lol
Isn’t that what everybody does XD
Absolutely love this, and how the flowers turned out. Especially love the finished product! Im going to do this for sure!
thanks for the hack.
you're doing great by trying many times so that we know how it works on many kind of flowers and leaves. greeting from indonesia😊
I brought a few flowers home from my great aunt's funeral. definitely will try this.
I love art works with flowers and I used an iron to press flowers for my craft. I am going to try fire bricks. Thank you for the good tip!
Thank you, I'm looking for starting a scrapbook to give to my boyfriend at our wedding when it happens, but I'm starting it now because I can't imagine us ever ending (:
Yay!! He’s going to love it!
@@NextJeneration I hope so!!
Are you guys still together??? Thats so cute!!!
@@busybees.r.c.1836 Yes we are ((:
@@mistyclouds9354 That's awesome! Any update of you guys?
I usually dry mine by hanging them upside down in a corner... or between books... I love this method better... thank you so very much...
Ok so i did this recently, do ur flowers turn fragile too? The petals start breaking off. What do u do for them to retain their shape and not break off?

@@ridah4419 unfortunately yes, especially awhile...
Loved the technics used. Brilliant
Thank you!
Thanks for giving me another way to add embellishments to my craft projects. I love this! Great job!
Thank you for this fun demonstration! My daughter and I are going to make our own this spring! ♥️
I love Pressed Flowers! Super good idea!
Thank you! It looks like fun and It makes a nice gift.
Is there any alternative to the microwavable bricks?
Look for “Microfleur” on amazon
@@DianaEvergreen peace and love from Paris France ♥️
book
Try with iron
Keep the flower in between paper or cloth
Thanks so much girl, really needed this🌼
Awesome! Any cloth will do?

I’ve come to notice it now that people have pointed it out. I’m trying to work on it for sure!!
Awesome tutorial!!! Thank you so much!!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸
One more hack : put the flower btwn 2 paper sheets and flat iron it !🌸🌸
Great idea!!
Thanks i was wondering for an idea.cuz i dont have a microwave
Cami saved by BTS oven ?
@Phoebe Buffay you can use any paper
I wondered if the browning could be prevented by putting them into the microwave longer but with less power. I can regulate the wattnumber between 800-300 in my microwave.
Great idea! Worth a try for sure
😯 I’m super excited to try this!!!
It's so beautiful and very helpful video!
its good idea by using microwave to shorten the time!!! thank you for sharing 👍🏼
beautiful work, like preserves to last in the pictures?
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 love your dress btw 😻
Thank you! ❤️

I pressed some white flowers but they turned brown n it didn't look good....plz may I get some help regarding this

I love your yellow fingernail polish!
Very nice 👍🏾
Love it! Going to do this in my next video and I will source/credit your video in my description :) Thanks for sharing!
I’d love to see!
Nice , thanks for sharing the idea .
Is this dry enough for resin?
I think so, but I would try just 1 flower and test it!
i have a couple monstera deliciosa fronds id like to fress and frame. what do you think would be the safest method?
So cool! I’ve honestly never done monsteras, so I wouldn’t want to steer you in the wrong direction. I would try silica first and see if that works, but only if you have extra leaves you can experiment with
Great video thank you
Thankyou for this video ☺️ very useful..
Great hobby too. You can press them in books also.
Ok.Im new to this so Im going to ask.Why do the flowers have to be dry.?
they last for so long because if you left regular flowers they’d brown quick
fun video thank you!
Pressing them in a book is a lot better and the colors stay preserved
Could I do this with flat hair iron with parchment paper on it?
I would totally give it a try!
Yaayy Thank You :>
@@russiareyes3044 did it work?
is this safe i mean putting heavy stones and fabric and plants in a microwave wouldnt that ruin the microwave or burn or something
It’s all microwave safe!!
Great video nice content. Keep it up
Thank you!
cool alternative technique, just a suggestion from a fellow youtuber, invest in a mic like a lavalier or video mic pro by rode so it wont seem like you are yelling. have a good day!
awesome! love it.
Instead of the other glass can we just place a cardboard
Of course!
This is great but, um who has bricks just lying around????😂😂
Why do they have to be lying around to make this 😂🤣 it’s called amazon.com 🤣🤣
NextJeneration right oops ignore my dumbass
😂🤣 not dumb!!!!
What brick and fabric did you use?
Hey! It’s linked in the description ☺️
What can you use other than felt?
Maybe fabric would work? But I’ve only ever done felt so not 100% sure
@@NextJeneration I did paper towels -
Can i do it in the oven?
I’m not sure, but it’s worth a try! I would practice on test flowers, not the ones you actually want to preserve. Just to be sure it works!
good work
🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing
Frame size ?
11 x 14!
You should let us see your garden
I have a video on it! ruclips.net/video/tfqc-Y2be8c/видео.html
Try using an iron
Hi new channel
Here showing my support
Did this actually work?
Yes!
Girl, know what you're working with if you're going to make an instructional video. Fire bricks are to keep things from catching on fire, like in a fireplace!
Have you heard of things being multipurpose? 😂
@@NextJeneration Yes, but you should know what the original purpose is!
Please help.... I love this video and I love pressing flowers and I do this the old fashion way....is there any other option apart from the bricks?
Silica gel!
